[ה'תשל"ב]

מענתי — מאז לזוגתו תי' – שמצטטה לעיל – מובן שלא הייתה בגדר חוקה — כלל

שלום וברכה!

, כ"א ע"מ לבוחנה מזמן לזמן ע"פ התוצאות שלה.

פשוט ש"רקבון" (ולא בתור הכנה לצמיחת "מציאות" טובה יותר

ובהרבה

) – ה"ז היזק היחיד ובמילא גם היזק הרבים, ועד"ז העלם ואי-ניצול כשרונות – וה"ז היפך

דבל תשחית

והיפך ד

בכל ד ר כ י ך

דעהו

.

ע"פ כהנ"ל מובן – דבאם לא יוחרב עי"ז המוסד (חינוך) בו נמצא, או שבלאה"כ לא יהי' לו קיום, ואינו קשור בחוזה וכיו"ב – יתענין במשרה מתאימה. ואם יתברר שהמשרה שכותבה מתאימה גם בפרטי', יתענין בה.

קבלה. אזכיר עה"צ ולכחו"ט.

[Year: 5732] My response — since to his wife (as quoted above) — it is clear that it was not a matter of a set rule at all.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

It is proper to examine from time to time according to its results. It is obvious that decay (not as preparation for the growth of something much better) — this is personal harm and therefore also public harm, up to and including the concealment and non-utilization of talents — and this is the opposite of bal tashchis (do not destroy) and the opposite of "Bechol derachecha da'eihu" (In all your ways know Him).

According to the above, it is understood — that if the institution (education) in which he is found will not be destroyed by this, or that without him it will not exist at all, and he is not bound by contract etc. — he should look into an appropriate position. And if it turns out that the position mentioned is also suitable in its details, he should look into it.

Accepted. I will mention at the Tziyun for success.


Summary

The Rebbe teaches to regularly evaluate one's work for positive impact, avoid situations leading to waste or harm, and seek positions aligned with one's abilities and Torah values when necessary.
